+Karl G Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 It seems that if the pfheights kernel option is specified, then regardless of what the row heights are set to (or even if they are unset), the screen will row as if the scanline count is being exceeded (which is what appears to happen when I check in Stella). Here is a simple "hello world" with the pfheights kernel option. Is there an issue with this option, or am I missing something obvious here? hw-pfheights.bas hw-pfheights.bas.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Which version of stella? I'm running your bin in 5.0.0-pre4, and it looks to be a solid 262 lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Karl G Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 5.0.0 pre9 on Mac OS X. I'll try reverting to an earlier version and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Karl G Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 I get the same behavior with Stella 4.7.2. I may have attached the wrong files since I have multiple copies. Trying again. hw-pfheights.bas hw-pfheights.bas.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Karl G Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Okay; in my simple example, I can only recreate the problem if I don't specify the row height, it seems. I have a larger project that that doesn't fix, though. I'll tinker with it a bit more and see if it's my code that's the issue. I may be back if I can't figure it out. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Karl G Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 RevEng helped me fix the problem. In case it helps anyone else: if you use the titlescreen kernel and pfheights, be sure to define or redefine the heights after exiting from the titlescreen.

+Karl G Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Speaking of pfheights and RT's bB page, the latter has this note about pfheights: Note: At this time, if the first row isn't 8, things might not work quite correctly. This problem is being worked on. This limitation no longer seems to be true, or at least it works fine for me when I specify a different value for the first row myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
